the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

abstract- the effects of iron (fe) and zinc (zn) treatments on the growth and nutrient composition of chickpea were studied in a greenhouse experiment arranged in a completely randomized design. while the application of fe decreased mean shoot dry weight of chickpea, that of zn had no significant effect on chickpea shoot dry weight. increasing fe levels drastically decreased mn concentration an...

This study investigated the effects of exogenous phytase, different dietary phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) levels on the Pand Zn-metabolism of fattening bulls. 48 German Holstein bulls (average initial live weight 312 ± 49 kg) were used for a feeding trial and allocated to four dietary treatments, P/Zn, P+MIN/Zn, P/Zn+PHY and P/Zn+MIN. All bulls received a diet of 80 % corn silage and 20% concent...

To obtain rich in organic forms of zinc extracts of Lentinus edodes, possessing putative higher immunostimulating properties than actually used, mycelia were cultivated in zinc(II) enriched media. Culture media were enriched in zinc in concentration ranging from 0 to 90 microg mL(-1), added to the medium before inoculation. Total zinc concentration in submerged cultivated mycelial biomass has b...

background: biosynthesis and metabolism of phytochemicals in medicinal and aromatic plants are vigorously affected by different abiotic elicitors including chemicals. objective: this experiment was designed to investigate the effects of three levels of copper sulfate (cu: 0, 5, 25 mg kg-1) and zinc sulfate (zn: 0, 10, 50 mg kg-1) and their combinations on yield, chemical compositions of essenti...

this experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012 at university of zabol. experimental treatments included phosphorus fertilizer at three levels of 0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1 as the first factor and foliar humic acid at four levels of 0, 750, 1500, 2250 g.1000 l water as the second factor. results showed phosphorus treatment had significant effect on ...

Little attention has been paid to the diagnosis of deficiencies of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn) and boron (B) and secondary nutrient such as sulphur (S) in rainfed systems. We evaluated Zn, B and S status of 1617 farmers’ fields in 14 districts of the semi-arid tropical India. Results showed that most of the soil samples were low to medium in organic carbon contents. Results also revealed t...
